n..,..u poads and SUPERINTENDENT

County Roads and Supervisors.--A cor
respondent writing to the Massachusetts Pto'omdn
on this subject, says: "There is hardly any place
in our country roads but where there is uphill and
down, springy places and soft places; and if they
have tile drain run through the centre of the
road, about four feet deep, with two-inch tile,
they would be remedied very much in muddy
weather. Of course, it has been stated, this draw
ing back year after year of what has washed off
of soil and sand on the side of the road and put
ting it in the middle of the road again is worse
than nothing. There are often many places on
our roads where there is gravel, and the road may
be helped greatly by blowing it up and carting it
down and filling the low places. There is very
little discretion used in road repairing and road
building by those who supervisors, for they
are men who know little or nothing about the bus
mess find that there are not many men who
have intelligence enough to hold this office, be-
cause there are not many who understand the
business and can do good work. Some of those
who fill these offices work out their own salvation
in them but it is not much to the advantage Of
the people who have to use the roads, and it is
very much to the detriment of the public. man
who has once been appointed highway supervisor
takes two or three years to learn the business.-
After having learned it, if he does pretty well, it
is better to Keep him in for while than to go to
the expense of teaching somebody else who knows
nothing about it. Wepoor farmers and tax-pay-
ers have to submit to poor officials, and then pay
them for their waste"

Some Very Curious Wills.


The wills deposited and recorded in the Orphans
Court of Baltimore City form very interesting
collection. The oldest on record is that of Thos.
Todd, dated February 26, 1875, and proved May
80, 1877, before Philip Calvert, commissionary or
register. The prologue, as in nearly all the old
wills, recites that "Thomas Todd, being weeke in
body, but in perfect memory, praised be Almightie
God, my blessed Saviour, into whose hand comitt
my soule, hopeing for salvation through his mer-
tits" He makes his son, Thomas Todd, executor,
and gives to his wife, Ann Todd 600 pounds ster-
ling, now lying in old man Richard Booths hands
in London" He also gives legacies to his "daf-
ters," Ann, Johanna, Frances and Eyerlea. The
spelling in the old wills is very curious. The orig
inal papers are all preserved in the vault 1t re-
quires 1913 tin boxes, averaging about 30 to box,
to hold them. The records fill large quarto vol
umes of about 600 pages each. These documents
contain the basis Of the titles to much of the real
estate of Baltimore city and county. Nearly all
of the old wills contain devises of slaves Many
provide for the manumission of slaves. Some of
the wills make curious requests as to funerals.

pine coffin, or an old hogshead, is immaterial to
me. Such matters will not affect my final state.
No head or footstone necessary shall be found
at the last trump! There is one point wish my
friends to ascertain positively, possible, and that
is that am really dead, dead, dead, before they
carry me to my narrow home, for I verify believe
hundreds, yea, thousands, are buried alive in this
country, so hasty are the survivors to remove the
unwelcome memento 6ftheir own fate out of ight'

No Danger from tuberculosis in Cattle.
~ J. Mirror.

v.
DR.. Hunt, Secretary of the State Board OF
Health of New Jersey, does not believe there is
any reason to be frightened over tuberculosis in
cattle. In reply to a reporter he said: Given
where cattle have tuberculosis no one has yet
shown that the use of the meat will convey the
disease to human beings. The meat of any ami
NAL not IN good health is, of course, not of as
good quality and flavor as that of animals in per-
feet health but to conclude that the meat of the
animal having specific disease will communi-
cate to persons eating it the same disease is one
of those hasty conclusions which are valuable as
aids to sensation but not as addition to truth.
As to whether the milk of cow suffering with
tuberculosis will convey the disease to those
drinking it, the same question arises. There are
yery few good authorities who claim that 1t will
unless the udder of the cow shows tubercular de-
posit. while the best of milk is only given by
healthy COWS, and therefore the greatest care
should be used as to the milk supply. 1t is ne
cessary and quite another thing to obtain series
of facts sufficient in class analysis to prove that
consumption is thus communicated. 1--WE can
assure our Philadelphia neighbors," continued
DR.. Hunt, "that the New Jersey herds were never
in better condition, and that the cattle OF Bur-
Iinetop, Camden and other counties adjacent to
Philadelphia will compare in quality both OF
meat and milk with any that Pennsylvania can
furnish" But "who shall decide when doctors
disagree"

Perhaps This Is Untrue.--The correspon-
dent of Baltimore paper, writing from Glyn-
don, says "The chairman of the Prohibition
camp-meeting committee complains of the treat
ment he received from Sheriff Miller, of Baltimore
county. He says he sent letter to the Sheriff,
asking him to attend the camp with his deputy
on Sunday, and that the only reply received was
through the messenger who carried the letter, who
reported the Sheriff as saying They are set OF
cranks. I shall do no such thing, for they broke
up my business, and tried to defeat me at the
